A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v0. At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a height H, directly above the point where the first ball was thrown upward. There is no air resistance. Find the time at which the two balls collide. Find the value of H in terms of vo and g so that at the instant when the balls collide, the first ball is at the highest point of its motion.

A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose sailboat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the person with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s and observes that it takes 1.75 s to reach the water. How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effect of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that due to gravity is reasonable.
Suppose that a ball is thrown straight up in the air, and that a secondball is thrown straight upward two seconds after the first. It reaches thesame maximum height as the first ball.a. What is the position of the first ball as a function of time, y1(t)?Take the initial height of the ball as y0 = 0.b. What is the position of the second ball as a function of time, y2(t)?Take the initial height of the ball as y0 = 0.c. Draw a y − t diagram of y1(t) and y2(t).

Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?

A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 196 feet/sec. So the height is given by h(t)=224t-16t^2 a. find average velocity of the ball over the interval (2, 2.1) b. when will the ball hit the ground? c. Find the inverse function that gives the time (t) in which the ball is at the height (h) as the ball travels downward. d. At what time will the ball be on the way back down and 540 feet above the ground? e. make a table: find time interval and average velocity time frames: 1 sec before hitting ground, 1/2 sec before hitting ground, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 f. How fast is the ball moving the instant it hit the ground?
A toy rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 mm), at time t = 0.0s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 65 m and acquired a speed of 60 m/s. The rocket continues to rise in unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground. The time interval, during which the rocket engine provides upward acceleration, is closest to: A.2.4 s B.2.0 s C.1.5 s D.1.7 s E.2.2 s
Two stones are thrown vertically up with the initial velocity v0, second stone with a time delay t0 with respect to the first one. At which time after the beginning of the motion the two stones will collide? Is this scenario possible for any v0 and t0? What are the limitations?
On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v1 = 58 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 1.1 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 35 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car to v2 during time interval Δt. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a. During this problem, assume the direction of motion of the car is the positive direction. 1. Use the expressions you entered in parts (c) and (f) and enter an expression for a in terms of d, v1, and v2. a = ( v2 - v1 )/Δt Δt = ( 2 ) ( d )/( v1 - v2 ) 2. Calculate the value of a in meters per second squared.
A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval t between two stations by accelerating at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = 0.500 m/s2 for a time interval t2. Find the minimum time interval of travel t and the time interval t1.
A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of vi and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed vi. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large.

(d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.
